- "Well well well, what's aaaaall this then!?!?!" You hear an obnoxious voice
- bellow behind you. "Assault 'n battery, it looks like ta me! Telan, you've done
- paralyzed the poor geezer!" You turn around to face, once again, your long-time
- nemesis, Sgt. Stone. You are surprised to see that he is smiling.
-
- "Well done, Telan," Stone says, shaking your hand and laughing. "I knew ya
- could do it all the time. Just gotta keep you secret agents in line, ya know.
- Y'still gotta follow the laws around here! Ha! No 'ard feelings, eh?"
-
- Moments later, the tall figure of John Abraham arrives on the scene. He shakes
- your hand. "Good job, Telan, good job. Not only have you recovered the IP-39
- prototype, you've exposed a terrorist plot and toppled a faction of a dangerous
- enemy espionage team! Well, I'd say you performance merits a bonus, of say,
- fifty thousand dollars. I'm sure Parth would agree. Hey, where is he, anyway?"
-
- "Haw Haw Haw!! That is a sehr gut idea, Herr MacCumhaill!! Oh, look -- Herr
- Telan has found the machine!" a throaty voice exclaims, and you turn to see
- Harold Werdt and John MacCumhaill walking together, smiling broadly.
-
- "Telan, I want to thank you personally," MacCumhaill says, "You've helped me
- open my eyes. Werdt and I have decided to merge. Together, we will be absolute-
- ly unstoppable."
-
- "Ahem! Excuse to please me, I mean, please to excuse me! Has rank no privelege
- around here?" you hear the garbled voice of Tinker enter the scene. He is help-
- ing the apparently exhausted Ulam Parth; holding him up, really. "Let your boss
- speak!"
-
- "Telan, thank you. You've done well -- and since I've been locked in that cell
- for most of the time, I haven't had to hear your bickering! A most pleasant
- mission in that regard! But what I want to announce now is that I'm retiring --
- not to the commies, no, to a fishing resort on Uranus' second moon, Tinker's
- coming along, too. We old war horses only slow down a class intelligence agency
- like this. Abraham will take over as leader of Argrath, effective immediately.
-
- Oh, Telan, I know I, uh, promised you a promotion, but, well, something came
- up. Your promotion will have to wait until after this mission. Today, we've
- received a whole passel of contracts, and your the only man who can handle
- this one -- " He hands you a new sheaf of secret documents.
-
- Oh well, a secret agent's job is never done...
-
- The End.
